Saturday’s Youth Day to offer outdoor fun

Area youngsters can have some hands-on fun at the Outdoor Recreation Youth Day at Historic Charlton Park Saturday, Sept. 7. Several organizations gather to give kids a chance to try several outdoor activities, including fishing, canoeing, yoga, clay pigeon shoot, camping, target shooting, rock-wall climbing, archery, birding, hiking, nature art, games and more. They also can see and learn about sled dogs and bird dogs. Activities, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., are free. Door prizes will be given, and a kayak will be awarded in a free raffle. Lunch is free for children; adults may purchase a lunch. More information can be found at facebook.com/bcyouthday.
